Registration and Skew

Fold the paper from two consecutive test prints in half (first side edge to side edge and 

then top edge to bottom edge). Observe the fold lines with reference to the crosshairs 

of the printed target. The fold line should be aligned perpendicular to the target 

crosshairs and should be within ±2.0 mm of the target crosshairs (each line on the 

target is 1.0 mm). If the image does not meet the criteria refer to Skewed Image on 

page 5-10.

Skips or Smears

Check the test print in the indicated areas for loss, stretching, or distortion of the 

image in bands across the process direction that make the image seem distorted, 

blurred, or compressed. If these faults are observed refer to Skips/Smears on 

page 5-10.
